    Ebooks can be purchased as well, with a little skill (or reading a tutorial) you can make it undeletable and uneditable as well.

    You’re quite right (at least it used to be easy, I have not checked for some time how hard it is now to get rid of Apple’s and/or Amazon’s DRM… the two main DRM-locked ebook sellers), but keep in mind not everybody feels ok to not respect the rules and/or breach the contract they signed. Also there is no need to that at all with printed books.

      I was just pointing out that if that’s your major reason for buying physical over digital, it’s solved very easily.

      I for one really don’t like owning many physical books because of the space it takes and 95% of my book purchases are digital.
